Whats wrong with that, if I may ask? It keeps everything organised imo, although too much can get annoying 4 or 5 is probably a good number at most.
And nice "surprise" to hear about this Sky story! I bet everything will look great in here. 
Nothing really, it's just that, as I said, it was nice to see something different. Same thing as when everybody started using quote boxes to highlight all sorts of titles  They look good, but having them everywhere made it a bit 'unoriginal', or a bit boring, not sure what's the word I'm looking for here
I know what you mean. Though it's hard being 100% original with all these stories, huh
But I agree it's nice to see a change, not that reserving is bad or something. |

Thanks for all the comments again 
Luigi, no this is the main story thread. When presentation comes I will update the first post with it and hopefully the presentation will end up up as first post on page 3, if we can make that happen. Basis is, hopefully I can make this last as you said
Also with help of valverde, Luigi, this story should have quite unique feel to it, but all will be revealed later
Haha, thanks Teddy Yeah, Cav is likely to go there and Fenn is definitely a target for us to replace lost rider in our team
cio93, well more big names might leave Sky at the end of 2012 though But it's big speculations just yet
And thx everyone for commenting once again, it's great to see

Few house rules I'll keep :
- There's at least have to be 3 riders coming in our team in Transfer Window that are British
- If we don't fulfil 80% of our goals, we'll have budget cut and so more riders will leave than join, as well more likely our bigger stars will leave
- My transfers have to be reaslistic - same situation with transfers of riders in AI teams but less strict
- No Training Camps and no Reconnaissance camps, obviously.
- For British Media presence, we always have to include a Brit in a race squad
- TTT will be simulated. In longer TTT's, humans get massive advantage while in shorter, it's impossible to do well, so to balance this out, realistic simulation will come to play.
That's it for now, there will be some news coming tomorrow about the team and then the wait for new season aka - patches I've might have forgotten few rules, so if you have any interesting ones you can think, please suggest them and I'll see if it's good to implement.

Decent rules
I agree, many British riders on the British team!

Why don't you seem confident Alakagom? You're questioning that Wiggins will retire, Most of your riders will leave and you'll be a conti team? Or is that your plan?

You certainly have a way of putting things positively |

do you allready know what kind of simulation you're going to use? In my opinion, the results of detailed simulations are the most realistic. |

sutty68, Fenn might be joining us already in 2012. Tiernan-Locke Thawaites and Dan Martin are other good bets that we’d like to attract
baseballlover312 I know it’s all sounding very confusing now, but with Sky’s troubles in UK in 2012, we are not sure if we can sustain WT team yet for next season But we are confident we will have backing of Sky – if we get the results Many thing can change through a season. Good one Ian
Schnuider, no idea yet, I’ll test both options in TTT’s and see which one produces most realistic result

With Mark Cavendish officially signing for Omega-Pharma QuickStep, we'd like to present our new signing. After we gave up and knew we were going loose Cavendish, we presented Omega Pharma Quickstep an offer they accepted, which is brilliant for us.
We're delighted to present that Andrew Fenn will ride for Sky Pro Cycling in the 2012 season !

Yea, hopefully Fenn will develop into great hilly sprinter indeed, we hope for the best, thx
Sutty, Dan will hopefully be our target when real transfer season begins in July, this transfer was bit of swap for Cavendish, who we simply couldn't keep

Fenn should be good! Young promising rider.

So I'll probably won't see it until I get back from my cycling holiday. I'll have a lot of catching up to do!
I'm really looking forward to this story, to what you will do with mighty Sky
(it could be possible I have internet connection the third week I'm gone, but I'll follow as soon as possible anyway)
I tried installing the Daily Expension Pack for PCM 2011 a while back but I couldn't work with the full editor, I'd like the expension back for 12 though, I'm gonna have to start working with the full editor |

You didn't need to work with the full editor to get Daily Expension Pack installed though ? Not if I remember correctly
Well I am going on holidays too And I too might not have the internet access or even the game, so you never know. No idea about the holiday terms, but it will be likely to be from 20 July - 20 August

No full editor required? Then I was really messing things up 
I've got to say, my expectations are very high for this upcoming story |
